I'm at the verge of TEARS! I'm missing the hospital bed so much. I can't find a comfortable spot on my bed :( I need SLEEP!

Ohh you poor thing, did they give you any pain medication? Perhaps it will knock you out and give you some rest. Hope you feel better soon :)

I slept on a chaise lounge for about 4 nights and the migrated to a bed after. Make sure you have a heating pad because ur back is going to end up hurting the most. I am 11 days pre op and feel great except my back from laying on it. I also was a side sleeper and haven't been able to do that yet. Good luck and congrats on getting banded

I'm happy to say, last night wa the FIRST night that I could get in/out of bed with no problem... In fact, I got out of bed (unnecessarily) about five times (to check the doors were locked, to make sure I put the dog's food bowl away, to open a window & so forth) it felt good to be close to my normal self.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
